Supporting early childhood educators to drive education for sustainability
Powerful for our children’s future, simple for educators.
Together we can rewrite the story for future generations
Working in early childhood education, we have an incredible opportunity to grow sustainable 21st century citizens and it doesn’t have to be more work! Turning everyday play into learning for a sustainable future is easier than you think and can be deeply fulfilling.
The rollout of the Early Years Learning Framework 2.0 (EYLF 2.0) is a great opportunity to reset, leave what hasn’t been serving us behind, and move forward with what helps children and their educators thrive in the 21st century.
It’s a great opportunity to re-imagine education for sustainability in early childhood to be holistic, hopeful, and cup-filling. To thrive within the limits of our planet, we fundamentally need to change the way we think, act and innovate.
We need to grow children's hope in the future and their ability to:
Imagine a circular and regenerative world;
Grow skills, dispositions, competencies and knowledge required to bring that world to life;
Grow their confidence and agency in taking action towards the change they want to see in the world no matter their strengths, dispositions and preferences.
And naturally, this starts in early childhood. As educators, you know this and you also know what a tremendous role you can play in shaping the dispositions and worldviews of our future leaders.
We understand that adding sustainability to your already long must-do list can be overwhelming. But we’ve got good news! It doesn’t have to be more work and it can be deeply fulfilling for all educators. Let us show you how to leverage the whole of the EYLF 2.0 to turn everyday play into learning for a sustainable future.
Are you looking to:
Nurture sustainable 21st century citizens able to drive the change they want to see in the world?
Implement education for sustainability at your centre in line with the EYLF 2.0 and the NQSs in ways that supports meaningful and enduring change without adding to your and educators’ workloads?

Be recognised as a leader in education for sustainability in early childhood?
